‘Suits’ Has Been Renewed For A Fifth Season!

Briefly: The USA Network has just renewed Suits for a fifth season.

The season will consist of the usual 16 episodes (which isn’t nearly enough in my biased opinion). The fourth season will air its midseason finale on August 20th, at which point I’ll fall into a slight depression until it returns later this year.

This is fantastic news. Suits is one of the best dramas on television, and there really isn’t a series that I look forward to more each week. It seems as though almost everyone I speak to has never heard of the show, so if you haven’t I implore you to check it out.

If you’ve missed out on the series so far, you can catch up via Amazon Instant Video in the US, or Netflix in Canada.

SUITS centers on a fast-paced Manhattan corporate law firm led by legendary lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht, “Love and Other Drugs”).  This season saw a major shift at The Firm that left Harvey at odds with his brilliant, but not-technically-legal associate Mike Ross (SAG Award nominee Patrick J. Adams, “Rosemary’s Baby”) who left to head to Wall Street as an investment banker.  As the series builds to its summer finale, Mike has returned to Pearson Specter to resume his place beside Harvey, but Louis’ (Rick Hoffman, “Samantha Who”) secret threatens to unravel The Firm.  The series also stars Gina Torres (“Firefly”), Sarah Rafferty (“Brothers & Sisters”) and Meghan Markle (“Fringe”).
